Continuing in our series, All Together Different, Troy discusses Paul's opposition to Peter, caused by Peter's hypocrisy and his actions that were based on other people's opinions, not on God's truth. Troy also encourages us to believe that when difficult times cause us to hit rock bottom, that can be a good thing, because then we have nowhere to look but up to Jesus.

Jan 8, 2023Any News is Good News?By: Troy BurnsSeries: All Together DifferentTo kick off our new message series through Galatians and Ephesians, Troy explains that either Jesus saves us, or we save ourselves, and that second option is actually hypothetical and impossible. Salvation is not based on our ability to keep God’s rules, but on the ransom of Jesus, paid with His blood.

Jan 1, 2023Finish What You StartedBy: Troy BurnsSeries: StandaloneFor our New Year's message, Troy discusses new beginnings and our need to stick with it and never give up. As we strive to achieve our goals, God has a part to play and so do we. Oftentimes, God chooses not to supernaturally remove or resolve a problem; instead, He gives His ongoing, miraculous strength to enable us to persevere through the problem. Then we can finish what we started and arrive at a better place than we were before.

Dec 18, 2022I Don’t Want To (But I Will)By: Troy BurnsSeries: On Your Mark... Go!Along with our children's Christmas program, Troy brings a message from Mark that centers around Jesus in the garden, right before His arrest and crucifixion. We discover that on a human level, Jesus did not want to go through the punishment and suffering He was about to endure, but we also see that He submitted to God's will, no matter what His own desires were. And that’s the best way for each one of us to live our lives as well.

Nov 27, 2022You’re More Important Than IBy: Troy BurnsSeries: On Your Mark... Go!As Albert Schweitzer found out, despite his many talents and personal accomplishments, "Every person I know who has been truly happy has learned how to serve others." What Schweitzer discovered was something Jesus taught a long time before that. Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. He also instructed us to do the same, which leads us to a much greater joy and fulfillment than we could ever have by serving ourselves first.
